| rdfs:comment | - 5 games have been released based on the CSI franchise, four based on the original CSI, and one based on CSI: Miami. Each game has 5 cases to solve, with the final case always connecting in some way with earlier ones. There are generally 3 suspects in each case, with one obvious suspect, one suspect with a Big Secret and another, non-suspicious one who turns out to be the killer. Though, the games are not above playing with murder mystery tropes. Expect tropes from each series and the franchise as a whole to appear in these games, as well as the ones listed below.
